A man was shot in the torso during an apparent mugging attempt in the 1700 block of Boylston Avenue just west of Seattle Central Community College. Investigators now claim the gunman got into a silver Jaguar four-door sedan and was driven from the area.

On Friday, Seattle police released an example photo of a car similar to the purported getaway vehicle. The car pictured is not the car thought to be involved in the shooting.

At 11:25 p.m., the victim was walking a friend home when an unknown man emerged from between two parked cars brandishing a revolver. The gunman demanded the man’s wallet and the woman’s purse, then shot the man as he turned toward the woman.

The injured man sustained a gunshot wound to the torso, which police described as not life threatening.

The shooter ran south on Boylston, then west on East Olive Street before climbing into the passenger’s side of the silver Jag. As of Friday morning, he remained at large.

According to police, a witness saw the Jaguar being driven in the area prior to the shooting and when it picked up the primary suspect just after the shooting.

The gunman is described as a very thin white male in his early 30’s with brown hair, brown eyebrows, a “very defined jaw” and thin face. He was last seen wearing a dark hoodie, a white sports jersey with blue stripes and blue numbers, and dark shorts.

Police ask that anyone with information about this incident, the suspects or the vehicle to call 911 or the Seattle Police robbery unit at 206-684-5535.
